against dzhokhar tsarnaev for the marathon bombing on monday. he's accused of two charges at this point. terrorism charge, use of a weapon of mass destruction, we've been explaining, that's a term of art in federal law. it doesn't mean in the conventional sense of talking about nuclear or biological weapons. it means any bomb that could injure people. and the other is, malicious destruction of property resulting in death. that's a separate explosives charge in the federal code. and what this does mean is that it's, the government could seek the death penalty based on this charge. and that's an interesting point. because the state of massachusetts does not have the death penalty. so the, it's only in the federal system that the death penalty can be obtained. what i've seen so far in looking through the documents here is a very detailed account of what we have been told was the key piece of evidence that got the fbi on to him in the first place. what he can be seen doing on a surveillance camera tape. and with your permission, andrea, i want to qu

federal authorities believe dzhokhar tsarnaev and his older brother acted alone when they detonated two pressure cooker bombs. the 19-year-old who suffered gun shot wounds, is currently listed in fair condition. officials say he claims the bomb making instructions came from an english language magazine supported by al-qaeda's affiliate in yemen. the older suspect who was killed by police, was heavily influenced by a muslim convert whom he befriended in the years before the attack. the report says the alleged bomber was steered toward a strict strain of islam by the person known to the family as misha. there are also questions about the fbi's prior contact with the alleged bomber and whether russian authorities raised concerns about the suspect on more than one occasion. the suspect's mother refuses to believe her sons were responsible for last monday's bombing. >> what happened is a terrible thing, but i know that my kids had nothing to do with this. i know it. i'm mother. i have -- you know, i know my kids. i know my kids. my kids would never get involved into anything like that. >> on
